@Nebula - this official?

@Pathogen - Civil Skirmish...dude just shut the f.uck up

@Pathogen - i get what your saying but they had one movie to tell it and they did a good job. imo they should dedicate a whole phase to big story lines.like phase 3 civil war,each movie showing how the civil war is affecting everyone.like in the comics. I could actually see that happening in a few years the ways things are going

@Solarkalel85 - As much as i love the movie, Civil War should've been it's own trilogy of Avengers films that came after Thanos.

@Ragnarocknroll - "Civil War was a comic-book movie masterpiece."

XD HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! That's a good one. It doesn't even come close to being in the top five Marvel movies, let alone being a Comic Book Movie masterpiece.

@Pathogen - You are spot on. You may have insulted their great Allah, but you speak the truth. Trying to put Civil War in one film, while crossing it with another film (the Fugitive with Bucky) made it one of the most disappointing Comic Book Movies I have seen in years. Even more so, when the Russos improved on the source material with The Winter Soldier. Now it has been confirmed that they watered down Thanos and Infinity War by turning him into Superboy Prime and the film into Infinite Crisis. I was looking forward to seeing Thanos cause Hell on the Marvel heroes for the love of his Lady Death. With one sentence, they have confirmed I'm not getting that. For all of those idiots who say Superboy Prime Thanos is better, consider the Son of Sam with the powers of a God and tell me, with a straight face, that's cheesy.

@Deonox - Eh. If you're a kid with ADD, sure. It was fantastic. If you're someone who likes GOOD movies...fantastic, even, if I borrow your term, then the story should have been extended over a few movies, paced better, had more stakes, and the introduction to the pivotal fight scene not be introduced by like 6 or seven dudes running at each other on an airport runway. Because seriously...in the books, it was a war. EVERYone was involved. In the movie? C'mon. It was fun, popcorn schlock. But it didn't do the Civil War story any justice, and....and I say this maybe because I have a higher bar on what I'd call "fantastic"....but it was just a silly movie.
There are quite a few Marvel movies that are better than this, by far.
Hope that answers you, and whomever else responded
@JustAChillDude
@Ragnarocknroll ...how old are you? just curious. It was fun, but masterpiece? You love AoS, don't you ;)

@Solarkalel85 It was ok. It wasn't made to impress, just to make money. Mission accomplished. 12 year olds super happy. But yes, had they extended it, and made it seem like someone would go down, it would have been better

@Gamerbot64 Thanks man. Some people on this site are just stoked about mediocrity

@Pathogen - Its just kind of odd how much Civil War is hailed as a "masterpiece" when I really didn't get masterpiece from it. As much as people hate on other CBMs for being too stuffed with content. Civil war was pretty stuffed and not in a good way.

@Deonox - So you don't think story lines in movies like Age of Ultron and Civil War weren't underdeveloped? I agree that the Transformers movies are garbage...but these aren't THAT much better. I hated Age of Ultron, it was hokey, badly written, and a mess. I enjoyed Civil War as a throw away movie..it was fun for an hour or so, but doesn't warrant repeat viewing (unless you really need to get your geek on seeing Spidey join up, and Black Panther do his thing...the rest was just formulaic and didn't add any major impact to the Marvel film universe).

And I can be as condescending as I like, because as we all know on here, we're all right, all the time. Do better? Watch better movies. Hell, demand better movies.
My maxim: Make a good comic book movie by first making a good movie that just happens to have comic book characters.

@SisterSunday52 - You can't be taken seriously at all though, especially when you claim BVS to be some type of cinematic art.

@Ragnarocknroll - You can feel differently, but don't get your panties in a twist when I call you out on your sophomoric tastes. The fact that you cracked open your dusty thesaurus to try and give your retort more weight makes me chuckle.

Listen, it all boils down to this:

Its ok if you have guilty pleasures...indulge them! Mine is cheesy 80's movies. But I'd never call them cinematic masterpieces, or assign qualities to them that they so obviously don't have. Be honest with yourself.

@Ragnarocknroll - Listen, kid. I get it. You're still in the adolescent frame of mind where you think pulling some vocab words verse someone quick-typing gives you some superior argumentative power. I thought so too, when I was 17 and scored a perfect on my SAT verbals. While hung over.

I'm old as balls now compared to many of you on here, and I have every right to assert my dismay over the lack of recognition that the general movie going population has for falling into a formulaic, bubble gum routine with many movies. To put it in terms you'll understand, this movie is the Taylor Swift of comic book movies. Its the same thing you've seen before, all flash and pizzaz, with no real depth or quality.


And that's ok. Like I said, guilty pleasure. You can know something is garbage and still love it. Just admit it. The more you "vehemently" defend it, the dumber you appear.
